welcome to bradley international airport

a restroom only for people with capes and no arms

Bradley can’t get you a direct flight from connecticut to florida but the center of the earth is apparently viable.

i started to write about the actual airplane experience but it got depressing again so i will put that off for later/never

these are the only sort of books allowed in florida now. And even these are mostly missing with the rest shoved behind a curtain.
Which is ALSO depressing but it is more plausible for florida to stop being depressing than the entire world’s aviation industry

do not ever ask me to sign a card. I will probably undo any inspirational effect the card is meant to have.

I often have difficulty getting “work” done during family trips since I can easily feel discomfortingly scrutinized

even when i am not working on anything this may seem to occur

I suspect that this mobile device quiz game may use artificial intelligence generated content. However i appreciate that “bible characters” and “fictional characters” are represented by the same person.
still the bootleggedness of the creature in the middle is rather surprising considering that tallahassee florida’s international airport

has a pokeball right in the center of this enormous compass design on the floor in recognition of all the directions you can look in to find dunkin donuts kiosks and also places it doesn’t have flights to or from.

Bradley airport sure doesn’t have one, which is why I was so understanding when i saw this in a gasoline station a few days before the trip, and also too self conscious to take a picture of it. and a week before that i saw that not only is A-Team plumbing still in business and under the same name, it actually has a truck with the same unauthorized fake-anime mr t drawn on the side of it driving through New Haven, connecticut’s most police-actiony city. Plainly the anti-china tariffs have been a long time coming which is why america has been stepping up its shoddy arbitrary copyright infringement.
I really want something other than that ugly ripoff pikachu to be the last picture or ripoff mr t pitying stool to be the last thought

hey! make sure you always cut up your N before disposing of it so fish do not get stuck in it. this fish doesn’t appear to mind but this fish is probably a moron. Most fish are. That doesn’t mean they deserve to get trapped in N.

the decapitated shadowmen appear to be demanding a human sacrifice

that may be worse! Especially if “like cowboys” is intended as a separate thought and a command rather than a clarification on the first one. I REFUSE to like cowboys.

am I going to prison?

and it isn’t even hard to edit mickey mouse into a nazi uniform or simply draw one.

not that i have a particular problem with felix the cat beyond my usual aesthetic frustration with characters that are all one color except around parts of their face and inaugurating minstrel show stereotypes in animation, but the picture i edited (and that I can’t for the moment find posted on any of my better accounts) already had felix in it. but i think this is consistent with mickey mouse being a ripoff of felix. in an alternate situation where mickey mouse’s fascist views were more outwardly expressed, that would only happen because felix did it first.

more to the “point,” as what seems to be usual, AI-generation’s foremost appeal is to the laziest, selfishist, basest, most hateful people who might as well be wearing those uniforms themselves.
The right wing vendetta against disney is pretty stupid because for 99% of its existence the disney corporation exclusively pushed conservative values:
-virtue is hereditary.
-wealth is deserved — if not by nobility, CERTAINLY the monarchy above them, provided it is the prettiest members of the monarchy.
-hetero normative whites are the only people who matter, in the event other types of people exist.
-corporations are OWED not just business but loyalty.
-corporations are not subject to the laws of common folk.
-if you can buy something you deserve the right to claim creative ownership of it and charge other people to look at it. if you can claim it without buying it, even better

Disney helped pound that stuff into the brains of lazy, selfish, base, hateful people. And it’s STILL doing that, but since those boneheads turned on it, gladly wasting luxembourgs worth of electricity just to regurgitate non-jokes about it, it somehow gets credit for being progressive, and its usual agenda continues to go virtually unscrutinized by anyone with credibility. Me having no credibility is implicit in that statement.

credibility may be overrated

based on something that happened actually to someone other than me. Somebody who didn’t trust doctors in the past due to legitimate bad experiences more recently had issues discontinuing a medication at the same time as getting caught up in a misinformation vortex meant to discredit scientists so to funnel support toward republican political candidates with no regard for people who actually need help and aren’t ever going to vote for scumbags, now distrusts doctors harder than ever and keeps getting worse mentally due to not trusting doctors so to get help with the medication issue but then also cannot be guided out of that due to continually getting stuck with doctors who seem less than trustworthy. In fact it is rather an ongoing matter but i think, i hope, the worst is over with, so i can justify posting the comic strip in the absence of anything else remotely coherent.
Now I need to take this computer apart to try and replace the “thermal paste” within it due to my other ongoing crisis that people getting paid loads of money could have prevented and saved trouble for countless common folk but didn’t. If I succeed at this I still will only have scrappy website updates but will have a substantially reduced chance of blowing up the computer and setting my home on fire if I ever get back to attempting to create better updates.

ah nope, worse than ever. i definitely have to pay somebody to fix it or buy another one now. which i partially expected but i was never psychologically prepared to deal with. taking that thing apart and especially putting it back together, then dismantling it and remantling it again and only getting this is more than i can do a third time and potentially STILL get… this. plenty of videos showing how to take everything out but you are mostly on your own when it comes to putting stuff back in.

most of your screws are just not in or the wrong place. one is wrong and ruined and unremovable and thus the power port will forever after be lopsided AND i didn’t even need to remove that one

the screws DO NOT WANT to go back in. they want to stick to my fingers. they want to fall into different places and roll around unvisibly. they want to get stuck sideways and then fly to oblivion when freed.

and after all that, when it simply shuts off after a few seconds, it gives no indication of what thing that i did wrong was the culprit. I have been doing things wrong my whole life, possibly even beans on toast, i can’t work with something that needs all things done correctly.

i have my data, but i can’t do anything with it on this crummy backup computer that i bought for my mother that my sister then commandeered. it has TWO (2) usb ports, and i need 3, for mouse, keyboard, and tablet, not counting the one connected to the

hard drive toaster thing. and i also “have to” go on a week long “vacation” and nothing is less relaxing to me than being stuck in some other place on someone else’s conditions and not about work on my personal stupid nonsense. there certainly isn’t time to order a new machine then and i don’t trust any place to fix this fast and not charge moreforfeoieroufreefropfrupidorfrupefrupefrupelope

was trying to use ptm 7950 instead of paste like reddit dorks insisted was better the problem? would it be working now if i had just used paste? is someone that i pay $200+ just going to use paste? I don’t know. any time i open it up another screw goes missing and every time i have to reconnect the blorks to the wifi card i think i lose a year off my life.

i swear this comic strip is not about me. I have ISSUES but they aren’t new or freshly medicated.

ah! it lives! I had not screwed the fan in tightly enough. One of the guides I looked at warned against screwing the fan in too tightly and as usual i drew the wrong conclusion from advice that i probably would have been fine without receiving. Good thing i dared to look back inside; i almost had a nervous breakdown when i resigned myself to using GIMP on a backup computer for the next twoish weeks. How do I move a selection? I don’t know! I thought just KRITA made that stupid. I am glad it doesn’t have to be my problem.
I don’t know if i actually solved the INITIAL problem of overheating but i seem to have alleviated the apparently more serious problem of me touching the computer inappropriately. It has more screws outside of it than in and the keyboard is on my bed since I got tireder and tireder of hooking stuff like that back up just for nothing to happen. Ideally I will sort that out before getting on an airplane because this thing presently looks almost as dangerous as four ounces of water with its insides and wires exposed.

and my mind state is like I have been “away” from using the computer for a week or longer when it was just a single day. Maybe this is a sign of mental illness. I will add it to my collection

GREAT. It’s about time. We’ll finally have Hitler on the ropes.
I like The Guardian, generally, but why is this news? Modern technology being able to beat up less-new technology is not impressive and is not related to any of the reasons that this particular technology is noteworthy or criticized
I don’t think anybody assumed present artificial intelligence couldn’t do that, or even PONDERED if it could, and that it CAN doesn’t justify its rampant undesired incursions where it doesn’t belong, much less the obscene amounts of electricity that it wastes.
What is AI doing about our present 2025 nazi problem apart from generating meme videos, self-published book covers and fake “evidence” against perceived enemies for them?

the actual article seems to be about showing how far artificial intelligence has come since its origin but as often happens, the headline makes it seem more sensational and obnoxious. Although sometimes that isn’t possible

in a different story about a totally ludicrous circumstance presented as if it is normal that i already saw being mocked before the guardian reported on it,

If it is “ai-generated” it is NOT evidence. That is called forgery. Fabrication. Fraud. It also has nothing to do with the incredibly absurd and creepy “victim impact statement” that this story is actually about, and this proves it isn’t just the headline-smith making things stupider.
I don’t understand how a legitimate newspaper can be pro-ai-generation or even neutral on the topic when that’s precisely what the right wing creeps they generally report on the flagrant immorality of want to use to put true journalists, if not all writers and artists, out of business. Though admittedly some should be easier to put out of business than others.

are you making beans on toast wrong? And also speaking IMPROPERLY? How is it even POSSIBLE to put beans on to toast and have it not be correct if any way is correct? That seems even harder to screw up than beef stew over biscuits. And if i like it that way, why is that anyone else’s business? Or news? Unless you take money to run trash stories like this? And if you do, how much are AI creeps giving you, and will it have been worth poisoning your very livelihood?

perhaps some people simply enjoy being poisoned

This made sense when i went to bed last “night” and maybe it doesn’t but I managed to dwell on something that might not make sense for less than a day which might constitute a form of progress.

i used to end up at a lot of bad local comedy shows because my brother was involved with them, and the worst comedians invariably became his close friends and also had the worst opinions. None of them have been recruited into the government as of this time but surely that is something to aim for.

then i eventually remembered that fringo and the belligerant gnomes and their preferred hang-out spot were directly inspired by having to attend those comedy/band shows and the awful people i encountered there, so i might as well have drawn fringo as the comedian here. plainly i was going for the same traits. The gnomes may have slightly elevated senses of fashion.
